"The Metric System" OR "Why Michael Fails"

I don't like it. This map shows the only countries in the world that DON'T use metric.

Read, only countries I can function mentally above the level of a four year old. Yeah...

Wait, a kilometer is LESS than a mile? Oh shit. Really? Why do people always make it seem like a 5K race is so terrible? That's only like three miles! And don't get me started on Celsius (I'm sorry, but thirty degrees is cold) Let's see how I do in Japan with these Burma-centric views and anti-metric bigotry!
